W-LERAWHIPKBB
2008 - Edinson Volquez
0-0 0.00 0.00 0 0


 

This is a bit of a mismatch, with Edinson making his NL debut against Philly's ace. But I guess that's what happens when our ace faces their garbageman.

I'd like to remind everyone of a quote from the other day, after Cueto became the first person to debut with 10 strikeouts and no walks. From Kent Mercker to John Fay: "You know what, Volquez is just as good."

Harang

Why did the Reds use Harang in Volquez's spot on Saturday? I think it would have been better for Volquez to face Eaton instead of the Phillie Ace in his debut. Any ideas?

by oneeyedjack on Apr 6, 2008 11:37 AM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I think

you want to get Harang as many starts as possible. If you get to match Harang against a poorer pitcher, so much the better. It increases the likelihood of a win.

I also remember that Edinson stayed back for an extended Spring Training start earlier last week. He may not have been on regular rest yesterday. I'll go check that...

I've got a plan and it's as hot as my pants...

by Man Mountain on Apr 6, 2008 11:42 AM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Harang's normal rest was also on Saturday

It's normal for a 5th starter to get moved around this time of year. We're just not used to having a guy worth seeing as a 5th starter. It feels...nice.

WHY SHOULD I CHANGE IT? HE'S THE ONE WHO SUCKS!

In quick-moving threads

like game threads, I've taken to turning auto-update off, especially if I'm trying to keep up. But I agree, there are definitely some loadtime issues going on. Hopefully they'll get it squared away soon.

Please Note: I may be totally full of shit.

by jch24 on Apr 6, 2008 12:11 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I've long since turned auto-update off

But after hitting refresh, it takes 2-3 minutes for the page to load. I'm not exaggerating. I timed it. Short threads (less than a dozen posts, say) are fine, but anything longer than that gets slower and slower and slower. The more comments, the slower the thread.

And unlike the [new] tags, you can't start reading until the whole page has loaded.

I've basically given up on game threads. I hope they do "recap" threads more often, so those of us who can't deal with game threads have some place to discuss the game after it's over.

You're confusing Dusty hate

for Phillips hate. We love Phillips, but we hate the fact that his .325 OBP bats one spot ahead of Dunn's .388 OBP. That's not Franchise's fault, it's Dusty's.

by BLee2525 on Apr 6, 2008 1:40 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I don't think that's accurate

There's a ton of BP love. I think we're also aware of his limitations. We tend to think he's one of the best defensive second basemen in the League, and like the power that he has, but we realize he isn't a slugger. He does hit into a bunch of double plays. He's extremely valuable, but not as valuable as some people seem to think. Still, he certainly has the potential to be the face of the franchise for years to come.

by Brendanukkah on Apr 6, 2008 1:41 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yeah, I'm feeling a simple backlash brewing in me

Marty started to say that Chase Utley was the best second baseman in the league, the caught himself and said he thought it was our guy. Ok, a little homerism never hurt. But then he went on to say that BP was going to hit 40 home runs some day. Ehhh...

by Red Menace on Apr 6, 2008 1:43 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Perhaps there was another "incident" last night

and he's pitching with a high heel jammed up his ass.

Myers isn't long for this world

And it's been said already, but Volkswagon's changeup is fucking ridiculous. To go from a 95 mph fastball to a 78 mph changeup is dare I say Johan-like.

Please Note: I may be totally full of shit.

Change up

Chris Welsh won't stop explaining what a change up is. Tell us again, Chris!

I just tried that MLB Extra Innings thing

I was getting a bunch of other games, but not the Cinci-Philly one. Anyone have any guesses as to why that would be?

Check Channel 775

It shows as an NHL Center Ice channel, but that's where I'm watching the game.

Mine's channel 465 on Comcast

It's game 5 which is a scheduled NHL game.

Ok

Lets throw some 93 MPH strikes

Fay

Fay's blog currently reads:

Ken Griffey Jr. hit his 594th home run in the bottom of the first inning. He drilled the ball 388 feet into right field and drove home Jeff Keppinger for a two-run home run.

It was Griffey's 100th home run in Cincinnati (38 at Cinergy Field, 66 at GABP).

Of course, John got tired of people making fun of him on his own blog, so he has turned off the comments. Why does the Enquirer let Fay have his own blog that isn't moderated by his editor?
